"People pay to see others believe in themselves." (Kim Gordon, from Sonic Youth)

"Becouse the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding likespiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centrelight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" ." (ON THE ROAD, Jack Kerouac)

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." (Albert Einstein)

"My story isn’t sweet and harmonious like invented stories. It tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves." (Herman Hesse)

"If you have been rejected many times in your life, then one more rejection isn't going to make much difference. If you're rejected, don't automatically assume it's your fault. The other person may have several reasons for not doing what you are asking her to do: none of it may have anything to do with you. Perhaps the person is busy or not feeling well or genuinely not interested in spending time with you. Rejections are part of everyday life. Don't let them bother you. Keep reaching out to others. When you begin to receive positive responses then you are on the right track. It's all a matter of numbers. Count the positive responses and forget about the rejections." ("Meeting people is easy", Radiohead)
